Political Tactics and Media Control: A Comparative Analysis

On Tuesday, March 25th, Tech Policy Press hosted a webinar discussion to talk shop with others on the tech and democracy beat. We gathered seven colleagues from around the world to explore how tech journalists are grappling with the current political moment in the United States and beyond. In this episode, you'll hear the first session of the day, which features Tech Policy Press Associate Editor Ramsha Jahangir in discussion with​ Rina Chandran, Rest of World; Natalia Anteleva, Coda Story; Anupriya Datta, Euractiv; and Anisha Dutta, an award-winning investigative reporter.

​This discussion delved into the global implications of these developments and key lessons from reporting in various political contexts. Questions included:

• ​What key narratives are emerging globally from recent shifts in US policy?
• ​How is the rise of a tech oligarchy shaping technology coverage outside the US?
• ​What practical lessons can journalists learn from reporting on technology and politics in non-Western contexts?
